For everyone complaining about the holes being different on either tips, could you not drill new holes to make them the same?

You can get different tips and have them welded on..That's what I would do those tips look horrible..

Yah you could do that, but then you would have to spend some time on crappy tips, so I had them swapped out.

Do you think these will fit?

They have a 2.5" inlet.

They will fit. Mine are also 2.5 inlet, 4" outlet. The mechanic has to put them in the machine to stretch the tip out slightly, so it would slide over the 2.5 openings on the exhaust.

^do you have the cx?

i dont think it would fit the cx like plug and play because with the cx it has an inner tip that is about the same size as the outlet. if you were to cut off the 2.5 inlet on that tip, it would most likely be able to just slide over much like the given tip does. or you could cut the exhaust itself.

looks really good but 90 bucks a piece?!?! OUCH thats basically paying for half the exhaust again xD. if you cut off the inlet part and drill a hole on either side and send it to me ill post pics

If it helps at all, these tips slip fit on 2.5" tubing.

Yup, have the CX. The 2.5 inlet on the exhuast was identical to the 2.5 inlet on the tips I bought, so the tips wouldnt fit over the exhaust outlet (they were the same size). So the mechanic stretched the piping on the tips I bought very slightly, using a machine, and then the tips fit right over the exhaust outlet, and he welded from there. I didnt want to use screws.....so if you get tips for this exhaust with a 2.5 inlet, it might not be a DIY, i.e. you cant just screw it on.

If you got tips with a 2.75 inlet, problem solved!
